ryan really wants it. do you think that people having these types of perspectives, like a mark mckinnan, that doesn't really ring true coming into the new year for speaker boehner. >> look, the problem for republicans and for moderate republicans like mark mckinnan is most of the people in the house are not of the mark mckinnan stripe. these are people who are from districts where they've won with 60% of the vote or more. the majority of them. the majority of their constituents don't want them to compromise on things that they find important like taxes. why someone like mitt romney winds up getting pulled down because of the gop brand, but for these members of congress? they're not at all concerned about the republican image nationally. their concern is about getting reelected. >> you bring up mitt romney getting pulled down by the gop brand. it could be the gop brand is being pulled down by mitt romney, or at least tag romney and what he said about he's recent comments. if we're talking about hand bren gr

if you look at marco rubio or paul ryan who are leading the charts to reinvent the republican party they are still expressing basic tea party ideas. the basic work of framing the budget. what's funny to me overall, is that for all of the -- for all the tea party has sort of become the republican establishment you can't count very many policy victories. the affordable care act standing tall in this regard. if, in 2010, republicans would have just agreed with skittish democrats have a scaled-down health care bill, the affordable health care act would not exist. but with the tea party that led up to everything so everything obama did resulted in a health care bill is strangely, more liberal than it should be and you can see that in a whole number of policies. so for me with you the tea party has had a victory. they've kind of taken over the republican party but when it comes to actual substantive victories they have very few. >> first of all, i have to -- i want to go back to something the congressman said when he talked about us pulling strings and he was referring to grover norkwis with t
